because the npcs run with samp_npc.exe and so the npcmodes cant print anything to samp-server.exe

[DiDok]

Then why the hell it is in a_npc include? O.o

Calm it... I'm pretty sure it prints to SAMP_NPC.EXE

I suppose you can try ******' method of cross communication between gamemode and npcmode.

gamemode

pawn Код:

forward NPCLog(text[]);
public OnPlayerText(playerid,text[])
{
  if(IsPlayerNPC(playerid))
  {
    //If you want to communicate a second function do something like this: EXAMPLE if(!strcmp(text,"NPCLog",false,6)||!strcmp(text,"NPCTimer",false,6))
    if(!strcmp(text,"NPCLog",false,6))
    {
      new tmpstr[128];
      format(tmpstr,sizeof(tmpstr),"%.*s",strfind(text," ",true),text);
      CallLocalFunction(tmpstr,"s",text[strfind(text," ",true)+1]);
      return 0;
    }
  }
  return 1;
}
public NPCLog(text[])print(text);

npcmode

pawn Код:

//instead of print or printf
new tmpstr[128];
format(tmpstr,sizeof(tmpstr),"NPCLog <THIS IS YOUR LOG>");
SendChat(tmpstr);
